The counterattack of the Qiankun Empire was too sudden. No one expected that the Qiankun Empire, which had been retreating before, would suddenly burst out with such a powerful combat power.
The eight kingdoms suffered heavy losses, and the casualties were roughly counted at more than 200,000. In particular, the Third Legion defeated the two kingdoms of Qianshan and Dayue and fled in a panic, defeated the army, leaving behind corpses, and the entire command system was in chaos.
The two generals escaped a hundred miles before they could breathe, gathered the number of people in each department to count, and the number of people died and disappeared was as high as 50,000.
Before, he snatched the Black Wind Fortress and chased the Third Legion for 300 miles and lost more than 20,000 people. However, in the battle last night, the opponent destroyed 50,000, and more than 100,000 people were injured by the bombing, and almost all of them were discarded.
The two generals were furious and suffered too much in this battle. The roars of the two could be heard in most of the military camps: "How come they have so many grenades, how can they have so many grenades..."
Although they were furious, they were really scared. Moreover, their morale is low now, and no one dared to turn around and fight hard. Instead, they continued to retreat from Baili and adjust and recuperate first.
Like these two kingdoms, the same is true for the other kingdoms. They were all confused by the counterattack of the Qiankun Empire, and most of the advantages they had gained before were lost overnight...
The news spread and the world was in an uproar. The palaces of the Eight Kingdoms either cursed their subordinates for being incompetent or throwing cups. It is said that the emperor of the Qianshan Kingdom smashed a set of priceless fine porcelain to pieces.
Then the eight kingdoms communicated with each other and sent envoys to the Qianshan Kingdom to meet and discuss.
Far away in the grassland, the four major tribes and Xuanyuan Tianzong are temporarily on the verge of fighting. Inquiry in detail about the situation of this battle.
The four neutral kingdoms also had different thoughts. Before, the Qin Dynasty obviously favored the Qiankun Empire. Yueying and Dali remained silent, while the Dachen Kingdom was different. Not only did it forcibly reclaim the soda ash ore, but it also expelled the Han family porcelain store from Dachen!
But the news of this battle spread, and the Emperor of Qin was very happy. Everyone at the court meeting could see him laughing so hard. However, the emperor of the Kingdom of Chen hid in the palace for several days, and did not even hold a court meeting. He kept calling close people to the palace to discuss...
In the Qiankun Emperor Capital, bursts of joyful laughter came from the residence of the eldest prince.
"Big Prince! We will win this battle. The eight legions counterattacked at the same time, and the eight kingdoms were defeated. There were heavy casualties and injuries. It is estimated that we will be able to recover the lost territory!" A man wearing an imperial guard uniform laughed and described the battle process. He even listed the results of which legion achieved.
The eldest prince also had a smile on his face and said, "I knew that my father had a plan long ago. With the combat effectiveness of our empire soldiers, how could he be chased by the eight kingdoms all the way? It must be a plan to set up in advance to weaken the strength of the eight kingdoms!"
"That's right!" the official nodded and said, "It will be much easier to attack in the future. It will be a matter of time before we can take over the eight kingdoms and unify the continent."
"Okay! Thank you, be prepared. I wonder when we will go to war!" The eldest prince stood up.
When the man saw the eldest prince get up, he hurriedly stood up, said a few loyal words and said goodbye and left.
When the man left, the eldest prince's face instantly sank. The teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a slight blow, and said, "A bunch of waste and grenade techniques have been handed over to you, but he is defeated..."
"Big Prince!" Suddenly, a man in black appeared in the room.
"Have you found it?" the eldest prince glanced at the man and asked in a low voice.
"I found it! The marshal sent all the inventory of the empire to the major legions at one time, and formulated a counterattack plan!" the man in black replied.
"Getting the best of one battle..." The eldest prince narrowed his eyes and then raised his lips: "So, the inventory of grenades should be gone... Very good! Send this news to me..."
Two days later, on the seven-story treasure ship outside Dachen, the prince of the An family also had a gloomy face. He did not expect that the Qiankun Empire, which had retreated again and again, suddenly broke out and dealt such a heavy blow to the eight kingdoms.
"Bang!" The prince of the An family slapped the table heavily and said loudly: "Where did the Qiankun Empire come from so many grenades? It almost rammed the eight kingdoms all the way, how could it be!"
He didn't care about the life and death of the Eight Kingdoms, but the problem was that Xingchen still had not succeeded. He wrote two letters to Sun Heng in a row, and the sect leader also wrote to Xia Wanshan, but the reply said that Jiang Xingchen had never come back.
The sect leader had news from the desert and knew that Jiang Xingchen had left the desert! He calculated that the days should have come back, but why did no one see them? Even if he found a trap, he would attack first with his temper.
The An family prince was puzzled. His arrangement was very complete, and even Mandala had considered it! But now Jiang Xingchen was evaporating like the world, making him feel like he had a punch in the air with all his strength.
The old man rushed back to Xingchen to take him, and Jiang Xingchen was completely unexpected. If the sect leader hadn't persuaded him, he would have almost transferred the person back.
Later, there was a new plan. Everything was arranged there, but Jiang Xingchen could not be seen. Now the Qiankun Empire suddenly exerted its efforts, and the eight kingdoms were defeated. If the eight kingdoms were defeated and the Qiankun Empire was freed up and the plan to use so many resources would be completely completed. Maybe even thousands of masters could not come back, which was half of the high-end force of Chongming Island.
If he hadn't been worried that someone would stare at him or be afraid of being unsafe, he would have wanted to go to Xingchen Corps immediately and take a look with his own eyes. The fact that Jiang Xingchen disappeared would be a bit strange.
"Criminal, don't worry!" The sect leader was very calm at this time and said lightly: "Jiang Xingchen is indeed very tricky, but we are holding his life gate!"
"What does it mean?" The prince of the An family frowned.
"Qingshan Village! Research Institute!" The sect leader smiled and said, "Our grenade has been sent. If Jiang Xingchen does not appear again, he will order the defenses outside Qingshan Village to be blown up directly... If he is around, it will definitely appear! If he is not here, bringing the research institute and Xianning over will be considered as the original plan! Do you think so?"
After the sect leader said this, the prince of the An family suddenly felt enlightened: "Yes, why should I be obsessed with capturing Jiang Xingchen alive! The research institute and Xianning are in my hands, and Tang Tian and Jiang Meier are in my hands, so why worry about Jiang Xingchen not submitting! I will write a letter to Sun Heng!"
When the prince of the An family ordered his men to get paper and pen, shopkeeper Wu ran over and said, "Criminal, hurry up and secret letter!"
"Updated secret letter?" The prince of the An family hurriedly reached out and took it open to watch, then the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Qiankun Empire, haha, I was almost frightened by them!" The prince of the An family said with a smile.
"Oh? What's the situation?" the sect leader asked curiously.
"They want to do their best! They used all the inventory in this battle..." The prince of the An family said while handing the letter to the sect leader.
The sect leader took it and looked at it twice, and laughed: "That means, the Qiankun Empire now has no grenades! It's strong on the outside and the middle!"
The prince of the An family said: "You said, what will happen to them if you hand over this news to the Eight Kingdoms?"
"What else can you do? You will have a slight test and will have all your strength to counterattack!" The sect leader thought for a while and said, "The Qiankun Empire will not sit still and wait for death!"
The prince of the An family nodded: "Definitely not. They will mobilize all the Yuan stones mined by the mine veins and fight to the death with their national strength... The eight kingdoms must be the same..."
Speaking of this, the prince of the An family laughed louder and louder: "Hahaha... Sect Master, after this battle, will the mainland be transformed into a situation where heroes were divided hundreds of years ago..."
As he spoke, paper and pen were sent, and the prince of the An family wrote several letters. Soon after, the speed eagle rushed into the sky and flew to the mainland...
At the same time, there was no joy after the victory of the Great War in the palace, and the atmosphere was still very solemn.
"Emperor! Although we won this battle, all the grenades in stock have been exhausted in the past two years! Without a large amount of Yuanshi supply, the battles that followed would be very difficult... I think if we should increase the mining of the mine veins, everything is first..."
Before the Marshal finished speaking, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Even if you increase mining, you can't keep up with the consumption. For example, you can't even think about the large-scale consumption in this battle... You don't have to worry. Even if we don't have grenades, it's enough to scare the other party to avoid acting rashly! Next, let's look at Jiang Xingchen!"
The marshal thought for a while and frowned: "But there has been no news from Jiang Xingchen!"
"Did you tell him my reward?" asked the emperor.
"I told you, but I haven't replied. I don't know what's going on?" The marshal shook his head.
The emperor frowned and said in a deep voice: "Is this kid not satisfied...or he is not sure..."
The emperor didn't know that Jiang Xingchen had not read his letter until now. Since he sent a letter to the emperor, Jiang Xingchen and Xianning have been investing in the research and development of new materials.
Originally, in his imagination, he wanted to research the cannon! Since there was no gunpowder, Jiang Xingchen initially planned to use the energy of the Yuanshi burst out of the Yuanshi to fire the shells... But then he thought about it carefully, let alone how complicated the design was, just a gun barrel rifle was enough for him to bear, let alone use a firing needle to break the Yuanshi in the shell shell... Even if both of these are solved, it will take multiple corrections and experiments, otherwise the blow-off music will be huge... Take 10,000 steps back and say that he is lucky and really made it in a short time. Now the technology and ability of the Xingchen Glory cannot be produced in large quantities! Take 10,000 steps back and produce batches of cannons, which cannot be transported!
Therefore, after thinking about it, I could only put aside my mind on studying cannons and decided to improve the crossbow.
This thing fires bombs with a shocking lethality. As long as the range problem and bomb explosion time are solved, it is a big killer. To solve the range problem, the crossbow arms and bowstrings of the brand new material are the key. So for several days, Jiang Xingchen stayed in the research institute to study the effects of the ratio of various metal materials... until Qin Manwu brought the team to Xingchen Leader.
